Blind Man

Famous quotes containing the words blind and/or man:

    For as the body grows old, so the wits grow old and become blind towards all things alike.
    Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)

    Every man is the builder of a temple, called his body, to the god he worships, after a style purely his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and bones. Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man’s features, any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
